What Did You Expect?!
Before we expect more from students, we must demand more from ourselves.
Every educator has high hopes for their students—but hope isn’t a strategy. In this bold, eye-opening session, we flip the script: Before we expect excellence from our students, we raise the bar for ourselves. Teachers will examine the quiet power of their expectations, the behaviors they model, and the standards they reinforce—whether intentionally or not. Through practical tools and real-world reflection, educators will learn how to build a classroom culture where students consistently rise—not because they’re told to, but because they’re trained to.
This workshop challenges teachers to lead with conviction, clarity, and purpose—because students don’t rise to what we hope. They rise to who we are.
Expect more. Get more.
Students rise to the level of your expectations—so set them high, then show them how to get there.
Using our exclusive Rep Rap™ system, we show teachers how to effectively manage
Class time
Every minute matters. We empower teachers to take command of class time—turning every moment into an opportunity to teach, show compassion, and inspire.
Student behavior
The best way to handle inappropriate behavior is to prevent it altogether. We equip teachers with strategies to create a positive, respectful classroom where disruptions don’t stand a chance.
Transitions
Transitions are when most behavior issues arise. We train teachers to lead calm, confident, and efficient transitions that maintain focus and momentum.
By demonstrating how to:
Set and maintain high expectations
Students rise—or fall—to the expectations we set. We help teachers establish and communicate ambitious, positive expectations that drive achievement and character.
Motivate students
Students learn best from teachers they like and respect. We show educators how to build strong, authentic relationships that spark motivation, increase effort and reduce resistance.
Create rules that work
Rules should be few, clear, and connected to values. We guide teachers in creating classroom rules that are easy to follow, enforce, and align with student growth.
Implement Routines and Procedures
Strong routines make strong classrooms. We train teachers to design and teach daily procedures that run the classroom smoothly and reduce behavioral disruptions.
Gain Attention Instantly
Every second counts. We show teachers how to gain students’ attention immediately, without conflict or chaos, using consistent, effective signals.
Shape behavior
We train teachers to reinforce what they want to see—and confidently correct what they don’t—without escalating conflict or losing control.
Engage ALL students
Every student deserves to be seen, heard, and challenged. We demonstrate engagement strategies that spark curiosity, increase participation, and keep students focused.
Maximize instructional time
Wasted time is wasted learning. Teachers learn how to eliminate downtime and turn every moment into meaningful learning—without burning out.
Teach for Mastery, Not Just Completion
Getting through the material isn’t enough. We help teachers create classroom cultures where understanding, growth, and perseverance are non-negotiables.
